_cm***44:“In one sentence, it is a treasure scenic spot in the deep mountains! As soon as I entered the gate and met the monkeys unexpectedly, I felt that it was worth the ticket price. Walking in the mountains and forests, the first half of the terrain is gentle and basically flat. Although the second half is all steps, there will be a gentle slope after a short walk, so it is not very tiring. Moreover, the protection facilities of the scenic spot are very well done. In addition to the railings, a layer of rope nets will be added. It coincides with the cooling and rainfall. There are few tourists in the entire scenic spot. It is almost a private treatment. The eyes are full of lush green, and then kiss the moist air with the fragrance of soil and green leaves. The experience is full, and it is 100% worth a visit!”

Longtan Ancient Town gave us a different experience during our holiday self-driving trip, far exceeding our expectations. The mountain streams flowed through the village, and the earthen houses were authentic and antique, creating a pristine ecological scene.”
M24***38:“The daytime ticket is 40, half price for the elderly and children, not many people, you can pick up beautiful shells, catch crabs, pay attention to safety on the reefs, there are some amusement facilities, but my favorite is walking on the beach”

This store has very good business because it is right at the intersection, and there are many food stalls in front of it. The food is very fresh. We ordered a group meal for tourists, and I have to say that the taste is pretty good, especially the oyster omelet here. I think it tastes very good. The clams here are baked with salt.
